Captain Cooks Monument
Captain Cook is an historical figure; his voyages to the South Pacific, in particular, are a well-known chapter of British colonial history. The fact that Cook honed his surveying and cartographic skills in the adjacent Bay of Islands makes this area relevant to a significant portion of his career.
Newfoundland Railway
The Newfoundland Railway operated for little over a century, with its first run in 1882 and its last freight run in 1988. The railway brought passengers and freight from Port Aux Basques to St. John’s and it was particularly beneficial to the pulp and paper industry in both Corner Brook and Grand Falls.
Wetland Interpretation Site
In many places in Canada, nearly 70 % of wetland habitats have been destroyed. According to Duck’s Unlimited, wetlands are key to the lifecycles of nearly 600 species of waterfowl and wildlife. In an effort to conserve wetland habitat, the Corner Brook Stream Development Corporation in partnership with Duck’s Unlimited constructed a wetland’s interpretation site
